Extended sick leave may be used for catastrophic personal illness or disability, including pregnancy-related disability, or for catastrophic illness or disability, including pregnancy-related disability, of a member of the employee's immediate family. A catastrophic illness shall be defined as a severe condition, including pregnancy-related disability, affecting the mental or physical health of the employee that requires the services of a licensed medical practitioner and forces the employee to exhaust all available paid leave. The employee may use catastrophic extended sick leave only once during a two-school-year period.
